<Icon name="Blocks" aria-hidden="true" /> [**Bundles**](/components-bundle-components) contain custom components that support specific third-party integrations with Langflow.

This page describes the components that are available in the **LangChain** bundle.

| agent_type | String | Input parameter. The type of agent to create. |
| agent | AgentExecutor | Output parameter. The CSV agent instance. |

## OpenAI Tools Agent

This component is based on the [**Agent** core component](/agents).

## OpenAPI Agent

This component is based on the [**Agent** core component](/agents).

This component creates an agent for interacting with OpenAPI services.
For more information, see the [LangChain OpenAPI toolkit documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/integrations/tools/openapi).

| agent_executor_kwargs | Dict | Input parameter. The optional parameters for the agent executor. |
| agent | AgentExecutor | Output parameter.The OpenAPI agent instance. |

## Prompt Hub

This component fetches prompts from the [LangChain Hub](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/manage-prompts#public-prompt-hub).

Like the [**Prompt Template** core component](/components-prompts), additional fields are added to the component for each variable in the prompt.
For example, the default prompt `efriis/my-first-prompt` adds fields for `profession` and `question`.

### Prompt Hub parameters

| Name                | Display Name              | Description                              |
|---------------------|---------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| langchain_api_key   | Your LangChain API Key    | Input parameter. The LangChain API Key to use. |
| langchain_hub_prompt| LangChain Hub Prompt      | Input parameter. The LangChain Hub prompt to use.  |
| prompt              | Build Prompt              | Output parameter. The built prompt message returned by the `build_prompt` method.   |

## SQL Agent

This component is based on the [**Agent** core component](/agents).

This component creates an agent for interacting with SQL databases.
For more information, see the [LangChain SQL agent documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/sql-agent).

### SQL Agent parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| llm | LanguageModel | Input parameter. The language model to use. |
| database | Database | Input parameter. The SQL database connection. |
| top_k | Integer | Input parameter. The number of results to return from a SELECT query. |
| use_tools | Boolean | Input parameter. This determines whether to use tools for query execution. |

| max_execution_time | Integer | Input parameter. The maximum execution time in seconds. |
| early_stopping_method | String | Input parameter. The method to use for early stopping. |
| verbose | Boolean | Input parameter. This determines whether to print the agent's thoughts. |
| agent | AgentExecutor | Output parameter. The SQL agent instance. |

## SQL Database

The LangChain **SQL Database** component establishes a connection to an SQL database.

This component is different from the [**SQL Database** core component](/components-data#sql-database), which executes SQL queries on SQLAlchemy-compatible databases.

## Text Splitters

The **LangChain** bundle includes the following text splitter components:

- **Character Text Splitter**
- **Language Recursive Text Splitter**
- **Natural Language Text Splitter**
- **Recursive Character Text Splitter**
- **Semantic Text Splitter**

## Tool Calling Agent

This component is based on the [**Agent** core component](/agents).
